Definitions

  • the present invention pertains to a mixing and/or evaporating device for an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine, especially of a motor vehicle.
  • the present invention pertains, in addition, to an exhaust system equipped with such a mixer/evaporator.
  • An exhaust system of an internal combustion engine is usually equipped with means for cleaning and treating the exhaust gases removed from the internal combustion engine. It may be necessary in this connection to introduce a liquid educt into the exhaust gas stream, to evaporate it in same and to mix it with the exhaust gas. It may be necessary, for example, to add a fuel to the exhaust gas upstream of an oxidation catalytic converter in order to bring about an exothermal reaction of the fuel in the oxidation catalytic converter. The heated exhaust gas stream can then be used downstream of the oxidation catalytic converter to heat an additional exhaust gas treatment means, for example, another catalytic converter or a particle filter, to operating temperature or to regeneration temperature.
  • SCR systems are known, which operate with selective catalytic reaction and are equipped with an SCR catalytic converter, which absorbs NOx from the exhaust gas stream.
  • the oxidation catalytic converter and the SCR catalytic converter may be arranged in parallel next to each other.
  • the outlet-side end of the oxidation catalytic converter and the inlet-side end of the SCR catalytic converter are connected to one another in this case via a part of the exhaust system called a funnel or mixing chamber such that the exhaust gas flow is deflected by 90° each after the oxidation catalytic converter and in front of the SCR catalytic converter.
  • a suitable reducing agent for example, ammonia or urea, preferably an aqueous urea solution, is added as an educt to the exhaust gas stream in the area of the mixing chamber upstream of the SCR catalytic converter.
  • the ammonia will then bring about a conversion of the nitrogen oxides present into nitrogen and water in the SCR catalytic converter.
  • the reducing agent is usually added via a nozzle, which introduces the reducing agent as an expanding, conical jet into the exhaust gas stream.
  • Part of the reducing agent is not consequently moving exactly in the direction of flow in the exhaust gas stream, but with a direction component in the direction of the wall of the exhaust system. Since the mixing chamber may have a relatively flat flow cross section, this may cause droplets to hit the wall of the mixing chamber and form a film on the wall before the reducing agent is evaporated. It is very difficult to return the reducing agent from such a film on the wall into the exhaust gas stream and to evaporate and mix it.
  • the formation of a film on the wall is additionally also facilitated by the fact that the reducing agent is introduced into the exhaust gas stream directly behind the oxidation catalytic converter in order to have the longest possible flow path available for evaporation and mixing of the reducing agent.
  • the exhaust gas flow is deflected by 90° in this area, as a result of which centrifugal forces may additionally develop, which may throw the droplets onto the wall of the mixing chamber.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide an improved or at least different embodiment for a mixing and/or evaporating device of the above-mentioned type or for an exhaust system equipped therewith, which embodiment is characterized by a simpler and therefore more inexpensive design.
  • improved mixing of the educt with the exhaust gas as well as preventing of the formation of a film on the wall shall, furthermore, be achieved.
  • a mixing and/or evaporating device for an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine, especially of a motor vehicle.
  • the device includes a carrier which surrounds, in the circumferential direction, a flat cross section of the mixer/evaporator, through which cross section flow is possible and which extends at right angles to the axial direction of the mixer/evaporator.
  • the carrier has a first and a second, mutually opposite long side walls and a first and a second, mutually opposite short side walls.
  • the short side walls connect each of the long side walls to one another.
  • a plurality of guide blades which project in the direction of the respective opposite long side wall and are set at an angle in relation to the axial direction, are arranged at one of the long side walls at at least one axial end.
  • An axial end of the first long side wall is offset in the axial direction by a distance in relation to the axial end of the second long side wall, which latter axial end is arranged on the same side of the mixer/evaporator in the axial direction.
  • the present invention is based on the general idea of equipping the mixing and/or evaporating means (device) with a carrier, which encloses in the circumferential direction a flat cross section of the mixer/evaporator, through which flow is possible, and extends at a right angle to the axial direction of the mixer/evaporator.
  • the carrier does not define a round cross section, but an elongated or flat cross section, such that the carrier has two long side walls located opposite each other and two short side walls located opposite each other, wherein the short side walls connect the two long side walls to one another.
  • the carrier Due to the design of the carrier as proposed according to the present invention with a flat cross section, it is possible to arrange a plurality of guide blades, which project in the direction of the other long side wall and are set at a pitch angle in relation to the axial direction, next to each other in a row at at least one axial end of a long side wall.
  • the guide blades extend at right angles to the axial direction and are also arranged next to each other at a right angle to the axial direction and also at a right angle to their longitudinal direction due to this mode of construction.
  • the axial direction of the mixer/evaporator extends in parallel to a principal direction of flow of the exhaust gas through the mixer/evaporator.
  • This principal direction of flow does not take into account flow deflections, cross flows, backflows, turbulences and the like within the cross section through which flow is possible.
  • a row of guide blades which are arranged next to each other, especially extend in parallel to each other and which each bring about a flow deflection in the direction of a short side wall, is thus made available at an axial end of the respective long side wall.
  • the long side walls extend to different extension the axial direction, as a result of which a stepped arrangement of the axial ends of the long side walls is obtained.
  • the mixing and/or evaporating device can be very well adapted in this manner to flow processes prevailing in the mixing chamber, as they may occur, for example, due to the 90° deflection. Furthermore, different types of injection of reducing agent can be taken into account with this arrangement.
  • the incoming flow-side axial end of the second long side wall is offset in relation to incoming flow-side axial end of the first long side wall in the axial direction against the direction of flow, i.e., downstream of the rear-side axial end of the first long side wall.
  • the different length of the long side walls in the axial direction on the incoming flow side i.e., the side facing the oxidation catalytic converter, leads to a stepped design of the mixing and/or evaporating device on this side.
  • the incoming flow-side end of the mixing and/or evaporating device can be positioned as a result in relation to the oxidation catalytic converter such that even though a part of the mixing and/or evaporating device is arranged in front of the discharge area at the end of the oxidation catalytic converter, which end points away from the flow, it is located at a spaced location from this in the longitudinal direction of the oxidation catalytic converter.
  • the incoming flow side of the mixing and/or evaporating device can thus be arranged closer to the means for introducing the reducing agent without reducing the flow cross section at the discharge-side end of the oxidation catalytic converter.
  • the discharge-side axial end of the second long side wall is offset in relation to the discharge-side axial end of the first long side wall in the axial direction in the direction of flow.
  • accumulation of the reducing agent may occur at a wall of the mixing chamber facing away from the oxidation catalytic converter and the SCR catalytic converter, i.e., at an outer wall of said mixing chamber, or at a wall of the mixing chamber facing the oxidation catalytic converter and the SCR catalytic converter, i.e., at an inner wall of said mixing chamber.
  • the course of the flow can be influenced at a site located farther downstream at the wall of the mixing chamber located outside by displacing the discharge-side axial end of the second low side wall in the direction of flow, as a result of which mixing of the reducing agent with the exhaust gas stream can be achieved again at the wall located on the outside in the vicinity of the SCR catalytic converter.
  • the discharge-side axial end of the first long side wall is offset in relation to the discharge-side axial end of the second long side wall in the axial direction in the direction of flow, i.e., it is arranged downstream of the rear axial end of the first long side wall.
  • the course of the flow at a site located father downstream at the inner wall of the mixing chamber can be influenced by displacing the discharge-side axial end of the first long side wall in the direction of flow.
  • mixing of the reducing agent with the exhaust gas stream can be achieved again at the inner wall in the vicinity of the SCR catalytic converter.
  • a plurality of guide blades which project in the direction of the respective opposite side wall and are set at an angle in relation to the axial direction, are arranged in another advantageous embodiment at the first and/or second long side wall at an incoming flow-side axial end.
  • this mixing and/or evaporating device can be arranged, as described, partly in front of the discharge opening of the oxidation catalytic converter without narrowing the flow cross section on the discharge side of the oxidation catalytic converter.
  • the row of guide blades arranged farthest upstream is thus arranged closer to the nozzle of the reducing agent feed means, as a result of which the reducing agent droplets reach the guide blades of the mixing and/or evaporating device before they can reach the wall.
  • the reducing agent is divided by the guide blades into finer droplets, which can thus follow the course of the flow more easily and can be evaporated better than coarser droplets.
  • a plurality of guide blades which project in the direction of the respective opposite long side wall and are set at an angle in relation to the axial direction, are arranged at the first and/or second long side wall.
  • the guide blades are arranged at a right angle to the axial direction along at least one long side wall at an axial end such that the guide blades located closest to the short side walls have a greater distance in the axial direction from the opposite axial end of this long side wall than the guide blades arranged farther away from the short side walls at a right angle to the axial direction.
  • the guide blades are arranged at a right angle to the axial direction in relation to one another along at least one long side wall such that the guide blades located closer to the short side walls have a shorter distance in the axial direction from the opposite axial end of this long side wall than do the guide blades arranged farther away from the short side walls at a right angle to the axial direction.
  • the distance in axial direction from the guide blades at an axial end of the first long side wall to the opposite axial end of the first long side wall is greater in another advantageous embodiment in case of guide blades that are arranged closer to the first short side wall than in case of guide blades that are arranged closer to the second short side wall, and the distance in axial direction from the guide blades at an axial end of the second long side wall to the opposite axial end of the second long side wall is shorter in case of guide blades that are arranged loser to the first short side wall than in case of guide blades that are arranged loser to the second short side wall.
  • the row of guide blades of the first long side wall extends from the first short side wall linearly or concavely along a radius obliquely in the direction of flow and the row of guide blades of the second long side wall extends from the first short side wall linearly or concavely along a radius obliquely against the direction of flow.
  • the distance of the individual guide blades can be selected as a result to be such that the smallest possible quantity of reducing agent will reach the wall of the mixing chamber and very good mixing of the reducing agent will take place.
  • the flat cross section through which flow is possible, has a first width in a first direction extending at a right angle to the axial direction that is greater than a second width in a second direction extending at a right angle to the axial direction and at a right angle to the first direction.
  • the flat cross section of the mixing and/or evaporating device makes it possible to arrange the guide blades at a right angle to the axial direction in a row next to each other, as a result of which a large-area lateral deflection of the flow in the direction of one of the short side walls is possible.
  • the introduction of the reducing agent into the exhaust gas stream takes place after the flow is discharged from the oxidation catalytic converter, i.e., in an area in which the flow is deflected in the mixing chamber by 90°.
  • An exhaust system for an internal combustion engine, especially of a motor vehicle, comprises at least one SCR catalytic converter, a reducing agent feed means, which has at least one injector for feeding a reducing agent to the exhaust gas stream upstream of the SCR catalytic converter, with at least one mixing and/or evaporating device, which is arranged between the at least one injector and the at least one SCR catalytic converter.

  • the guide blades 25 of one row of blades 28 which is formed at one of the long side walls 21 on the incoming flow side 26 and/or on the discharge side 27 , is set at a pitch angle opposite the guide blades 25 of the other row of blades 28 , which is formed at the other long side wall 22 .
  • a first long side wall 21 extends essentially to a defined height h 1 in the axial direction
  • a second long side wall 22 extends to a greater height h 2 in the axial direction compared to the first long side wall.
  • the first long side wall 21 and the second long side wall 22 consequently differ in their heights by a distance d.
  • a mixing zone 34 in which intensive mixing of the reducing agent with the exhaust gas stream is brought about by the guide blades 25 , extends adjacent to) the row of guide blades 28 located farther away upstream.
  • the short side walls 23 , 24 do not extend in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 4 through 7 to a uniform height in the axial direction, a first short side wall 23 having a uniform height and a second short side wall 24 at the transition to the first long side wall 21 having a smaller height at the transition to the second long side wall 22 in the exemplary embodiment being shown.
  • the rows of guide blades 28 do not extend in a straight line.

  • bending of the rows of guide blades 28 that extends convexly in relation to the mixer/evaporator 12 would also be conceivable. It is possible due to this arrangement to arrange more guide blades 25 or a larger impingement surface of the guide blades 25 in the exhaust gas stream at constant cross section of the carrier, through which said cross section flow is possible.
  • the rows of guide blades 28 of the respective long side wall 21 , 22 are not arranged next to each other but extend spread out in relation to one another in the manner of scissors. This means that the distance in the axial direction 17 from the guide blades 25 at the incoming flow-side axial end 26 of the first long side wall 21 to the opposite, i.e., discharge-side axial end 27 of the first long side wall 21 is greater in case of guide blades that are arranged closer to the first short side wall 23 than in case of guide blades 25 that are arranged closer to the second short side wall 24 .

  • Carrier 20 is a shaped sheet metal part, which integrally comprises the four side walls 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , in the exemplary embodiments described. Furthermore, the guide blades 25 are formed integrally at the respective long side wall 21 , 22 , so that the complete mixer/evaporator 12 is manufactured ultimately from a single shaped sheet metal part. The manufacture may be carried out from an elongated, strip-shaped sheet metal blank, in which the guide blades 25 are cut free at first. The guide blades 25 can subsequently be bent at an angle. Finally, the sheet metal strip can be bent corresponding to the flat cross section of the mixer/evaporator 12 , through which flow is possible, in order to form the long and short side walls 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 of the carrier 20 . The longitudinal ends of the blank may be fastened to one another at the one short side wall 23 corresponding to a connection seam.
  • FIGS. 8 A through 8 C schematically show a plurality of further embodiments of mixer/evaporator 12 in the installed state, which differ from each other essentially by the different heights of the long side walls 21 , 22 .
  • Different types of injection of reducing agent and different flow conditions in the mixing chamber can be taken into account by means of the embodiments described below.
  • FIG. 8 A shows an embodiment in which the first long side wall 21 extends on the incoming flow side up to the oxidation catalytic converter 6 .
  • the second long side wall 22 extends, as in the first embodiment described, farther against the direction of flow on the incoming flow side than does the first long side wall 21 , as a result of which the row of guide blades 28 arranged at the second long side wall 22 slightly overlaps in the projection the discharge area of the oxidation catalytic converter 6 .
  • this row of guide blades 28 is located at a spaced location from the oxidation catalytic converter 6 in the longitudinal direction of the oxidation catalytic converter, so that the flow cross section is not reduced on the discharge side of the oxidation catalytic converter 6 .
  • the two long side walls 21 , 22 do not extend in this embodiment up to the same height in the direction of flow as in the first embodiment.
  • the first long side wall 21 rather extends farther in the direction of flow in this embodiment than the second long side wall 22 , as a result of which a stepped arrangement of the rows of guide blades 28 arranged at both long side walls 21 , 22 is obtained on the discharge side.
  • the discharge-side row of guide blades 28 arranged at the first long side wall 21 is arranged closer to the SCR catalytic converter 7 in this embodiment than the row of guide blades 28 arranged on the discharge side at the second long side wall 22 .
  • the incoming flow-side axial ends of the long side walls 21 , 22 are designed in the embodiment shown in FIG. 8 B as in the embodiment shown in FIG. 8A .
  • the second long side wall 22 extends farther in the direction of flow on the discharge side in this embodiment than the first long side wall 21 .
  • a stepped arrangement of the rows of guide blades 28 arranged at the discharge-side axial ends of the long side walls 21 , 22 is likewise obtained in this embodiment, and the row of guide blades 28 arranged at the second long side wall 22 on the discharge side is arranged closer to the SCR catalytic converter 7 than the row of guide blades 28 arranged at the first long side wall 21 on the discharge side.
  • the incoming flow-side axial ends of the long side walls 21 , 22 are designed in the embodiment shown in FIG. 8 C, contrary to the embodiments described so far, such that they extend to an equal height in the direction of flow.
  • the two axial ends of the long side walls 21 , 22 terminate at the height of the discharge area of the oxidation catalytic converter, as a result of which no stepped arrangement of the rows of guide blades 28 is formed on the incoming flow side.
  • This embodiment is the same as the embodiment shown in FIG. 8 A on the discharge side.
  • FIG. 9 shows another embodiment, in which the exhaust gas flow is not deflected between the oxidation catalytic converter and the SCR catalytic converter.
  • the oxidation catalytic converter, the mixing chamber and the SCR catalytic converter are arranged, instead, linearly in a row.
  • the reducing agent is thus introduced in a section in which the flow is straight.
  • the reducing agent must correspondingly be introduced at an angle to the direction of flow, i.e., obliquely to this direction. To achieve that the reducing agent will be distributed over a large area over the flow angle, a steeper introduction angle is advantageous.
  • mixer/evaporator 12 is designed such that the rows of guide blades 28 are offset in relation to one another in the axial direction 33 .
  • the row of guide blades 28 arranged farther upstream can thus be arranged such that it is located opposite the reducing agent feed means 9 .
  • Reducing agent 32 that would reach the wall of the mixing chamber in case of an excessively steep introduction angle will thus reach the upstream row of guide blades 28 and is fed into the exhaust gas stream.
